The Impossible Conversation12 March 2013 6.30pmA series of public conversations will explore questions raised by Jonathan Cummin's exhibition When I Leave These Landings. There can be a difficulty in encountering extreme points of view. A defensive response of simplifying and therebydiscounting the 'other' is common and understandable. Yet, if we want to move away from the conflict within a society, it is crucial that we find ways to sustain an encounter with the complexity of other points of view. These events will address the following questions; 'Who has the right to speak and be heard inour culture and our society?', 'How might we become more open to entering into difficult conversations?'
